31 Day Nail Art Challenge: Inspired by Fashion

When it comes to Halloween, who is more fashionable than Elvira, Mistress of The Dark?!?! She's the freakin' Supermodel of the Underworld! Plus she always sports a fabulous mani. I present to you: Halloween Nails Inspired by Fashion:

Pictured are Elvira's logo (here's her website where you can see her awesome logo), Elvira and as much of her bouffant hairdo that will fit on my nail, and of course Elvira's.... assets. I think these could also count as my Breast Cancer Awareness nails for October. SAVE THE TA-TAS!

I painted my nails black except for my middle finger. Most of the red is covered up with the Elvira portrait.

I started with flesh tones, but tried to make them rather light. Elvira keeps her lovely complexion by staying out of the sun. She'd rather stay UP all night (you see how I did that? ha ha).

She looks so nekkid without her hair.

I showed my mani to my hubs at this point and he said, "Where's her t*ts?" Simmer down honey, they're coming.

There they are! She's so bodacious, her boobs need their own nail. I just love Elvira and think her campy take on Halloween and all things creepy is fantastic. You go girl!

Polishes used in this manicure: Wet 'n Wild Fast Dry Ebony Hates Chris, and Revlon Raven Red. Raven Red, what a great name for a Halloween nail polish!

Wow, that is so nice of you to say, Nev! I try really hard to squash the negative self-talk. You know, the little voice that tells you that you aren't very good at something. Instead I tell myself that I am getting better at it every day, and hope that it is a self fulfilling prophecy. And practice really helps, too!
